Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.5K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...

Physiology of Enteric Nervous System and Gut Health

1.0K
The gastrointestinal tract, responsible for the digestion and absorption of nutrients, is safeguarded by the intestinal barrier, which consists of secretory, physical, and immune components. At the forefront is the secretory barrier, composed of essential elements such as mucus, gut microbiota, and defense proteins. They collaborate to break down food particles, facilitate nutrient absorption, and maintain optimal gut health. These secretory components ensure the smooth functioning of the...

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:22

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.7K
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.

Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach01:25

Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach

2.5K
The gastric glands contain parietal cells that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) for digestion. The cells secrete HCl because it is highly corrosive and essential for breaking down food. To achieve this, they secrete hydrogen and chloride ions into the lumen of the gastric glands, which combine to form HCl.
Within parietal cells, carbonic acid is first formed through the reaction of water and carbon dioxide. The dissociation of carbonic acid releases bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate...

Tight Junctions01:29

Tight Junctions

7.6K
Tight junctions are molecular seals between cells that prevent the leaking of fluids, ions, and other small solutes across cavities and compartments in multicellular organisms. They are mainly composed of claudin and occludin transmembrane proteins, and other proteins such as tricellulin and JAM (junctional adhesion molecule). All these proteins are 4-pass transmembrane proteins, except JAM, which is a single-pass transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The...

Endocrine Signaling01:45

Endocrine Signaling

68.3K
Endocrine cells produce hormones to communicate with remote target cells found in other organs. The hormone reaches these distant areas using the circulatory system. This exposes the whole organism to the hormone but only those cells expressing hormone receptors or target cells are affected. Thus, endocrine signaling induces slow responses from its target cells but these effects also last longer.

Background:

  • The intestinal epithelial barrier is crucial for host homeostasis, nutrient absorption, and pathogen exclusion.
  • Composed of epithelial cells, tight junctions, and mucus, it's susceptible to disruption by cytokines, diet, and disease.
  • Barrier dysfunction increases intestinal permeability, inflammation, and bacterial translocation, potentially leading to inflammatory bowel disease and systemic effects like bone loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the intricate relationship between intestinal barrier integrity and bone health.
  • To review current literature on how factors like inflammation, aging, dysbiosis, and metabolic diseases influence the intestinal barrier-bone axis.
  • To highlight proposed mechanisms connecting intestinal barrier status to bone metabolism.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research.
  • Analysis of studies investigating the impact of various physiological and pathological conditions on the intestinal barrier.
  • Examination of proposed molecular and cellular pathways linking gut health to bone density and remodeling.

Main Results:

  • Factors including inflammation, aging, gut dysbiosis, and metabolic disorders negatively impact intestinal barrier function.
  • Disruption of the intestinal barrier is associated with increased systemic inflammation and contributes to bone loss.
  • Specific mechanisms linking gut barrier dysfunction to bone pathology are being identified.

Conclusions:

  • The intestinal barrier is a critical regulator of systemic health, with significant implications for bone metabolism.
